Failure of Our System

While learning the history of America, it was very clear to me that the legal system explicitly fails young men of color. Past and recent court cases display the fact that minority men were not given justice in many cases. In America's past, I was aware that the system approved of various lynchings and the aimless killing of black men but I thought as time passed these conditions would have became better. Typically every court case is discrete, however, recently the cases have become very similar. When justice isn't rewarded to people who deserve it, the phrase " failure of our system" comes into play. This phrase has become a prevalence in society.

I found it very interesting to look at the failure of the legal system . The concept was fully explained by Charles M. Blow in a New York Times article. The way Blow explained this concept is specific to Trayvon Martin. (Martin was a teenager killed by a vigilante.) Although Blow used it to be specific, I will not use it in my essay to be. I will use the term "failure of our system" to represent a numerous amount of minority males who were failed by the system. Many generations of Americans have seen the system fail America's young African American men. As history repeats, it is confirmed that people have not learned from the mistakes of people in the past.
